Universalis antecessor communis est saltem 102860-ies probabilior quam multi antecessores.[8]
Carolus Darwin doctrinam universalis descensús communis per rationem evolutionariam in libroDe origine specierum posuit, dicens, "Ergo, ex similitudine inferam veri simile esse omnes entitates organicos quae umquam in tellure vixerunt de singula figura primordiali descendisse, in quam vita primum spirata est."[9]
